THE PUBLIC SCHooLs.-The past
week has been a gala time for the
scholars in our public schools. Reg
ular lessons were abandoned and
the time given TO the closing eXer-
cises Of the term, which were some
what varied in their nature. On last
Friday evening the scholars gave a
lawn sociable in the school house
grounds which was largely attended
bv our citizens and n good round
| sum raised for the benefit Of the
school library. On Monday rel
ing an exhibition al given in the
Opera House, participated in by the
entire school and was attended by
nearly five hundred people. The
exhibition was the best ever given
in the city, and Prof. Thurston and
his able corps of teachers deserve
great credit for the excellent man
agement of the affair. On Tuesday
the last day Of the term, the schol-
ars were dismissed at ten o'e-
lock in the fornoon, with instruc-
tons to return before noon,
which they did, laden with baske cts
of provisions and accompanied with
their parents, brothers and sisters,
uncles ard aunts, and the day was
devoted entirely to festivities and
enjoyment. Thus closed one of the
most successful terms Of school ever
held in our city, and the hard work.
ed school boy and girl is set at liber,
ty until next September. The pat,
rons Of the Elk Point public schools
may well be congratulated upon The

The people in this section OF
country perhaps do not understand
the fact that the butter made from
western grasses, or blue-joint, such
as is so abundant III Union county,
has much better keeping qualities
than eastern butter made from tame
grasses. We learned this fact the
other day from VIM. Slaughter,
ESQ, manager of the Plymouth
Creamery at Akron, Iowa, who has
handled butter since he was a ten
year old boy and knows as much
about this article of food as any
man in the country. lie learned
the fact from eastern buyers to
whom he has been shipping butter
for years. For immediate use the
eastern butter grades a little the
best and brings a higher price, but
for keeping any length of time,
western butter takes the lead.
There is no doubt some peculiarly
in the grass accounts for this.
and with the proper facilities for
making butter, Dakota and western
Iowa, may be counted on to Leaf
the world for butter making.

dulging in complaints about imagi-

base ball club challenged the Elk
Point club to a game of ball, and
said they would come to Elk Point
if desired. Our boys accepted the
challenge and named last Saturday
as the time and Elk Point as the
place for the game. When Saturday
came the Yankton's failed to put in
appearance, nor did they send any
word. They did not treat our boys
right, for as the Yenkton's were the
challenging club, they ought, at
least, to have sent an explanation of
their failure to come to time.
